As we live longer, a fading sense of taste and smell can make foods seem bland. Because food is no longer appealing, there is an overall loss of appetite. Older adults may not eat sufficient calories and can experience poor nutrition. This weakens muscles and bones, elevating the risk of falls and illness. Many seniors may add excessive amounts of salt and sugar to give their meals more flavor. These additives can worsen heart health, raise blood pressure, cause arteriosclerosis, and aggravate diabetes.
